    Beautiful Retreat in Victoria, BC

    May 01, 2013

    We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Hemmingway's By the Sea. The home is very large and has several seating areas for comfort, as well as the large suite we reserved. The owner is very charming and suggested many local sites for us to see as we had never been in that area before. She made our trip outstanding. Our suite was well appointed and the bedding very comfortable. The owner prepared very delicious gourmet breakfasts. This B&B was a terrific experience, a vacation in itself. We would stay longer next time. . GD and CA Roberts, Palmer, AK

    A quiet resting place

    October 12, 2012

    This hideway was just what we needed. We needed some quiet time and some rest and that was accomplished. We also enjoyed our hostess and the helpful hints about seeing Victoria and its attractions. We would love to return.
